HOUSE IN FOREST is pleased to announce its 6th annual international design competition: House In Forest 2020 - Wooden House. The competition is designed to challenge and seek creativity with ideas and concepts in architectural design, as well as landscape design and site planning. The aim of this competition is to promote our ideas of protecting the forest and its environment, as well as focusing on urban design problems, while simultaneously raising awareness of sustainability.
This year’s competition focuses on wooden houses, an extraordinary architectural style with traditional methods of building with heavy timbers, prefabricated wooden structures or creative light-wood frames with other components. Entrants are challenged to conceive a new and original concept for a wooden house, however not strictly limited to the style of 'full-timbered structure'. A degree of flexibility and alternative choices are allowed, for example, half-timbered or partially wooden, provided it is backed up with an adequate justification. The project area is defined in a forest environment.
